🚨ICE is trying to deport Eduardo while he’s still recovering from surgery! Surgery he had to get after contracting COVID at the infamous ICA-Farmville.
Script: My name is _____, and I am reaching out to you because ICE is trying to deport Edwin Eduardo Cervantes (A number 216641243) even though he does not fall under the new "priority enforcement" categories.
Eduardo was one of hundreds who tested positive for COVID-19 after Farmville’s heinous medical neglect and still has serious side effects as a result of it. After months of having his medical needs ignored, he was finally able to get surgery and is in recovery.
It is cruel and inhumane to deport Eduardo less than a month out of surgery to a country where he has no family or support. And keeping him in detention while in recovery will only elevate the risk of him catching COVID again and put his life at risk.
I urge you to call on ICE to free Eduardo and shut down ICA-Farmville for good!
